Johan Cruijff ArenA | Home to AFC AJAX

If you're a fan of European football, visiting the Johan Cruijff ArenA should definitely be a part of your bucket list! The Johan Cruijff ArenA stadium has hosted countless important matches, including the 1998 UEFA Champions League Final, and has been a venue for the Dutch national team during crucial international fixtures. This place holds a whopping 55,885 people, and it's the home turf for the Dutch National Football Team and club, AFC Ajax.

Want to check it out for yourself? You can book tickets online for a stadium tour, or even a combo tour. Read on to learn more about your ticket options and other information to plan your ultimate Johan Cruijff ArenA adventure!

Who was Johan Cruijff?

Born Hendrik Johannes Cruijff in Amsterdam on April 25, 1947, he practically grew up next to Ajax's stadium. He joined the Ajax youth academy at the age of 10 and made his debut for Ajax's senior team at 17.

As a player, Cruyff was an attacking midfielder or forward known for his incredible dribbling skills, speed, vision, and intelligence on the pitch. He even had a move named after him, the "Cruijff Turn." During his time in Ajax (1964-1973 and 1981-1983), the club enjoyed a golden era, winning 8 Eredivisie titles, 3 consecutive European Cups (now the Champions League) from 1971 to 1973, and the Intercontinental Cup in 1972. He scored over 200 goals for Ajax in all competitions!

In 1973, he made a then-world record transfer to FC Barcelona. Nicknamed "El Salvador" (The Savior), he helped Barcelona win their first La Liga title in 14 years in his first season. Cruijff was also recognized as the best player in the world, winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or three times: in 1971, 1973, and 1974.

He became a highly successful coach, first with Ajax (winning the European Cup Winners' Cup) and then with Barcelona (1988-1996) winning 4 consecutive La Liga titles (1991-1994) and the club's first-ever European Cup in 1992.

Johan Cruyff sadly passed away on March 24, 2016, at the age of 68, after a battle with lung cancer. However, his legacy as one of the greatest and most influential figures in football history remains undiminished. 

Why book Johan Cruyff Arena tours

johan cruijff arena tours
  • See the home of Ajax FC: The Johan Cruijff ArenA is the home stadium of Ajax, four-time Champions League winners. Touring the arena lets you walk in the footsteps of legendary players, like Johan Cruijff and Frank Rijkaard, and see one of the most famous football grounds.
  • Behind-the-scenes access: The tour provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access to areas usually off-limits to the public, such as the locker rooms, the players’ tunnel, press rooms, and VIP sections. 
  • Stadium history: Originally called the Amsterdam Arena, it got a name change in 2018 to honor Johan Cruijff, one of the greatest football stars ever.
  • Unique architecture: Opened in 1996, it was one of the first stadiums in Europe to feature a retractable roof. Designed by Dutch architect Rob Schuurman, the stadium resembles a flying saucer! Inside, the stairwells twist and turn like giant shoelaces. The stadium is also a UEFA-classified Category 4 stadium - a luxury stadium of the highest category.

Things to know before you book Johan Cruijff ArenA tours

  • Types of tickets: There are three types of Johan Cruijff ArenA tours: self-guided tours, VIP tours, and combo tickets. Make sure to book your tickets online so you can save a few Euros compared to buying them at the stadium.
  • What’s included: The classic self-guided tour gives you access to the players' dressing rooms, mixed zone, players’ tunnel, the pitch, manager’s dug-out, press room, and the Ajax Gallery of Fame. It also offers a 10% discount at the official Ajax Fanshop & FEBO restaurant where you can try Dutch snacks like Kroketten and Frikandellen. You can also upgrade your tickets to a guided tour in English or Dutch with an experienced guide and gain access to other exclusive areas. Upgrading your tickets also gets you a complimentary Johan Cruijff ArenA scarf and a cold drink in the Skybox.
  • Guided tours: You can also book the 2-hour guided Johan Cruijff ArenA VIP tour in English or Dutch which gives you access to exclusive areas like the Boardroom and the official dressing room of Ajax. This tour also includes a complimentary scarf and a complimentary soft drink in the Skybox.
  • Combo tickets: For a more comprehensive experience, book saver combo tickets to attractions like the Heineken Experience, with 2 complimentary drinks and a multilingual audio guide, Moco Museum, with skip-the-line entry and a multilingual audio guide, or AMAZE Amsterdam, with access to the AMAZE lounge. Please note that you must arrange your own transportation between the experiences on your combo tour. You can also book self-guided or Johan Cruijff ArenA VIP tours with a 1-hour Amsterdam Canal cruise and a multilingual audio guide. 
  • What to expect: Wondering what’s the itinerary for your tour? First, you'll peek into the locker room, then it's on to the field where you get to snag a seat on the actual bench where the players sit! After that, you can explore the rest at your own pace. This includes the home dressing room, the press room, a trophy room, and a hall of fame wall celebrating legends. The tour ends at the club shop, because who could say no to souvenirs!
  • Best time to visit: If you want the full Johan Cruijff ArenA experience, aim for a weekday visit. Guided tours are limited on weekends, so weekdays are your best bet. 
  • Discounted tickets: Tickets for infants from age 0 to 4 are free while children under 13 get discounted prices. For more details, please check your tickets before purchasing.

Visitor tips

  • The stadium has no locker facility. You can, however, store all your belongings at  Lockerpoint for a fee.
  • Show up 15 minutes before your tour starts. If you're extra early, you might snag a spot on an earlier tour (but it depends on how many people are there).
  • Weekdays are less crowded, and visiting during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late afternoon, can offer a more relaxed experience.
  • The climb to the grandstand is very steep and the "foot space" to the next row of seats is narrow, so be careful walking here. Wear comfortable footwear so you don’t slip.
  • While the Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station is closest to the stadium, Strandvliet may be more convenient and will have fewer crowds, depending on where you enter and exit.
  • When leaving, the first few train compartments from Bijlmer ArenA will be packed because they’re closest to the entrance. Make your way to the back, for less crowded compartments.
  • If you’re not exploring much of Amsterdam and you’re only in town for a night or two, stay at a nearby hotel. However, if you are interested in checking out museums and the nightlife, stay in the city center or the Amstel region as the stadium is well-connected by public transport.
